Every few years, cricket throws up a question so absurd that it suddenly starts sounding logical. This week’s version arrived courtesy of Tim David, Axar Patel, and one towering 129-meter missile in Hobart. The ball landed somewhere near Tasmania’s next postcode, India won the game, and Irfan Pathan started a conversation that could change T20 […]

Australian cricket has a funny habit of turning the simplest jobs into nationwide puzzles, none bigger than the Test opener hunt. Twelve months ago, they were so desperate for a partner to Usman Khawaja that they pushed Nathan McSweeney out of his natural No. 3 spot and marched him straight into a Jasprit Bumrah cyclone. […]
Every World Cup cycle creates its own subplot, but India’s build-up to this T20 edition has a particularly intriguing one: What do you do with a bowler who barely plays, yet performs every time he does?

As cricket often does, it was time for another dramatic comeback story for India’s star batsman, Rishabh Pant. It was just a few short months ago that Pant’s thrilling reverse-sweep against England’s Chris Woakes went awry when he suffered a broken foot, and missed the final test match of the series in Manchester as well […]
A World Cup trophy usually brings one kind of ripple: victory parades, celebratory hashtags, and the obligatory “revenge for 2017” memes. This one brought another panic inside the WPL team offices.

Every IPL season leaves behind one decision that makes fans stare at their screens and go, Wait, they’re letting HIM go? For IPL 2026, Heinrich Klaasen might just be that headline-stealing shocker. A year after SunRisers Hyderabad backed him with a massive ₹23 crore retention, one of the biggest for a foreign batter, they are […]
The Ranji Trophy Round 3 is always unique in its own way as a part of the entire Ranji Trophy season. However, the 3rd Round of the 2025-26 season was more than just another typical domestic week in India’s first-class cricket; it was essentially a single round tryout to get a spot on the team […]
